Have you ever been in a situation in New York, where your one plane drops you off at LaGuardia Airport and the connecting flight is at another nearby airport (known as Newark International - in New Jersey)? This article can explain how you can get there from this airport.

Steps

1

Take either an All County Express or ETS Air Shuttle[1] van from either airport. These are two of the few vans that can shuttle people and their luggage between the two nearby airports. Call these places up and ask them to ferry you between these two airports (provided that they are not busy or off-duty at the time).

2

Take an MTA E-60 or Q-70 bus to either the ROOSEVELT AVE & 74TH ST (Q-70 line) or W 125TH ST & MALCOLM X BLVD(M60+) then transfer to the subway, that head towards Penn Station. For most trips from the Q-70 route, you can take the E line train. For M60+ buses, there are a variety of ways to get to Penn Station: you can take 2 or 3 train from the bus depot at W 125th Street (dependent on time of day)[2]. Travel to Newark from Penn Station on a New Jersey Transit or Amtrak train to the AirTrain Newark depot.

3

Take your own personal car if you have one or you know where you can pick one up. Although there are only a few rental car agencies at the airport, it's best if you can provide your own. Travel routes vary, but based on maps, your general course of direction is to head west towards New Jersey into Newark across the Hudson River (through a paid tunnel) and then head a few miles south towards Newark airport. Although rental car pickup/drop off areas vary, some generalized directions of routes to use is to use the directions provided here.

4

Take a taxi or hire a private limousine/transportation form if you have a lot of money as these two airports are a longer distance away from each other. Approximate travel time can vary, but most people report their travel time as about 70-80 minutes (dependent on the driver's driving record, speed and knowledge of the area they are driving in).

Tips

Due to the distance between these two airports, walking isn't an option

Few, if any forms of mass transit, will be able to take you from one airport's terminals to the other. There are no stops on the subway or train at or near LaGuardia Airport.

If you own a private plane at LaGuardia Airport, take the plane from one tarmac to the other. The flight time is only about a 10 minute flight (by air). But then again, you probably wouldn't need another plane once you got to either airport if you had a plane of your own.

Newark International Airport is sometimes referred to as Newark-Liberty International Airport (according to the MTA) but most people just refer to it as Newark International Airport or sometimes even Newark Airport.

Warnings

Try not to ask the driver too many questions, unless they themselves ask you a question. Asking them a question could take their mind off their driving and add time to the transit time to the Newark Airport.
